?Why is radiation protection important in radiography, and what methods are commonly used to ensure safety

Radiation protection is essential to minimize harmful exposure for both patients and healthcare workers. Common methods include using lead aprons and shields, proper beam collimation, maintaining safe distances, applying the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable), and regular equipment calibration to reduce unnecessary radiation.

?What factors affect image quality in radiography, and how can they be optimized

Image quality depends on factors such as exposure settings (kVp, mAs), patient positioning, motion control, and the use of grids or digital processing. Optimization involves selecting the right exposure parameters, ensuring correct alignment, reducing patient movement, and applying proper post-processing techniques to achieve clear and accurate diagnostic images.
